Does anybody know where i can get my hands on two John Cooper Works Bucket seats (the ones in the GP) for my mini? or does anyone know where i can buy the equivalent?

Cant seem to find anywhere in the UK who have these. I think the seats are Sparco Milano 2, but i dont know where to ge them from.

If anyone could help that would be brilliant.

Thanks

The seats in the UK edition of the GP are Recarro's not sparcos.

robbiebrown34 · May 29th, 2007, 12:38 PM

Doh! maybe thats why i cant find them!

Thanks again

About £1600 from bmw they're on me wish list

robbiebrown34 · May 29th, 2007, 01:09 PM

£1600! is that just for the front seats? or the rear aswell?

..Blackadder.. · May 29th, 2007, 01:13 PM

Just the fronts lol, didn't find out how much the rear would be.

robbiebrown34 · May 29th, 2007, 01:15 PM

nice! What is the model of the recaros? maybe they have them cheaper elsewhere.

Not sure on the model mate but would you save money surely you would have to get a fitting kit do they make them for the mini? custom ones would be £££££

Just had a look on recaro's site they look very much like the sportster cs if thats any help.

robbiebrown34 · May 29th, 2007, 01:27 PM

I guess i can just keep dreaming

Thanks for your help mate. Greatly appreciated!

The Recaro Sportster CS seats are the ones for the R56. The seats in the GP look like the Recaro Style model.

Just the front

another £1400 for the rears

robbiebrown34 · May 30th, 2007, 10:39 AM

i am assuming that price is from BMW direct, we all know they are a rip off!

Does anyone know where i can find these seats in the UK from anyone other than BMW? obviously i dont mind that they wont be branded with BMW.

Thanks

I picked my Recaros up from ebay for £750 for the pair (fronts).

They do come up from time to time and are worth the money - so much more comfortable than the standards
